We had a successful
Tournament... not just in the number of participants... but also in
the large amount of officials that helped tirelessly!

We started the Opening
Ceremony on Saturday right around 8:45 AM and called the first
divisions into the rings about an hour later.

The last YAME! was called at
exactly 6:38 PM for the last division competing!

With just under 600
competitors to roster and process through the staging area it was
truly amazing that we finished in such a timely manner!

Thanks to the tireless
effort of our Officials and our Ozawa Cup volunteers no ring was
idle and everyone got to eat Lunch even!

Words are hard to find on how I can express my
sincerest thanks and gratitude to all of our Competitors and their
support groups (family, friends, sensei and coaches), to all our
Officials (Judges and Referees), and to all of our Ozawa Cup
volunteers. I can't thank you enough for your help and support.

THANK YOU ALL SO
MUCH...!

We had around 140 instructors from 120 Dojos from
all over the USA and from a dozen foreign countries who supported
our tournament by having their members participate in the 2019 Ozawa
Cup. Many were present at the tournament helping as officials and
many competed as well.
